Did you know? Camp is awesome! Girls with more frequent outdoor experiences are more likely to seek challenges and are better at solving problems—qualities that will help them both academically and personally in the future. Camp gives you cool new experiences! 72 percent of girls surveyed said that Girl Scouts gave them the chance to build their skills or try new outdoor activities. Camp makes everything better! Spending time in nature improves concentration and creative reasoning. Outdoor experiences also help promote healthy social development and increase self-esteem.

Send a girl to camp Camp scholarships It is our goal to continue to provide opportunities for girls who want to go to camp. Camp scholarships provide this life-changing experience for girls who may not otherwise be able to participate because of their economic circumstances. Contributions to camp scholarships make it possible for all girls throughout the 45 counties we serve to attend camp and have the same opportunities and experiences regardless of their ability to pay. In addition, camp scholarships help underwrite the cost of camp activities, keeping fees low for all girls. With your help, we will continue to give Girl Scouts the opportunities they need to become the leaders they want to be today, and the leaders our community needs them to be tomorrow. $1,000 = One week of resident camp for four girls $600 = One week of day camp for five girls $260 = One week of resident camp for one girl $125 = One week of day camp for one girl

Camp info

General Information

May I visit my camper during camp?

Camp sessions are open to all girls entering grades 1-12 in the fall regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin. The grades listed for each session are the grades that your daughters should be going into in the fall.

Our camps are not open to parents, family, or other visitors during camp sessions so that we may provide a safe and secure environment for all participants. All participants and staff must be registered and all adults must have completed background checks prior to camp in order to attend. Plan to visit the camps during the open house to see the units, staff and program areas. We also offer family camp opportunities at Camp Gallahue (page 36).

All girls who are registered Girl Scout members may attend. Girls who are not current Girl Scouts will pay a fee of $35 per summer, which covers the Girl Scouts of the USA membership fee. For girls with a chronic illness or disability, a written statement from her physician is required and must indicate the girl can participate in routine activities without harm to herself. Non-Girl Scouts must fill out the girl member registration form online as well as the camp registration form. What if the weather is bad? While at camp, every counselor is in touch with the camp director who has access to a weather radio. We are aware of any storms headed our way and have procedures in place to protect our campers. Some activities may be affected by weather, and in this case refunds are not issued. How can I prepare my camper? It is important for families to talk with their camper about what to expect at camp this summer. The American Camp Association has great resources for parents available at www.campparents.org. Can my girl request to go to camp with a buddy? Summer camp is about camping with friends, both old and new. Girls may request to stay in the same unit with one girl in the same session. Please write the friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name in the appropriate space on the application. Requests must be mutual and only one friend request will be honored. Girls and families should agree on their camperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buddy. Troops are not guaranteed to be placed together, unless you are registering for Troops Love Camp at Na Wa Kwa. Troop members attending the same session are not guaranteed the same unit assignments. All girls are placed in a unit based on the grade they will be entering in the fall. Camp buddies can be in different grades for resident camp as long as they meet the grade requirements for the session they chose. Placement together will not be possible if more than one name or different names are listed.

Camp registration: Registration opens Wednesday, January 30, at 9 a.m. How to register Register online at girlscoutsindiana.org Camp confirmations will be emailed to all participants. Please do not call to check on placement.

Multiple sessions There is no limit to the number of sessions each girl may attend (financial assistance is available for one session only). There is no need to submit additional copies of the health history form.

Applying for financial assistance (PAG) Girl Scouts of Central Indiana is committed to providing a positive experience to every girl who wants to be a Girl Scout. PAG's are provided so that a familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic status will not be a barrier to participation. To apply, submit the PAG application with your camp registration and health history form. A $20 deposit per girl is required to secure her placement. This deposit is not refundable unless your child cannot be placed into a session. Use a separate grant application per girl. Please fill out your PAG at the same time as your registration form. All applicants will be notified by email as to the approval of the request. All PAG information is kept strictly confidential. A limited number of grants are available for one camp session per girl.

Camp fees Full fee must be paid no later than May 31 for all camp dates. Failure to do so will result in loss of reservation.

Registration closes Registration closes two weeks before the beginning of each camp session or when the session is full, whichever is first.

Refund procedure The camp fee does not cover the entire cost of your child attending camp. The remainder is covered by various funding sources that support Girl Scouts of Central Indiana. For this reason the refund policy is: •

Refunds are given only if written cancellation is received at least two weeks prior to sessions.

•

$25 of fee will be retained for handling charges.

•

Bus fees are not refundable.

•

No refunds for family camp.

Refunds are not given to no shows or campers leaving camp early due to personal reasons including homesickness, sports, family vacations, behavior, lice, etc.

I grew up at a camp where my mom was camp nurse and I’ve been camping all my life. I love watching girls grow in confidence and independence during their time at camp. Whether it’s your girl’s first time at camp or she’s a seasoned pro, my goal is for her to have a great time learning new skills and having fun!
